Question about best friend

I have a best friend of 20 years, since we were in 6th grade. We used to be super close, but we started to drift ever since she got married and when I had my first baby. My son is now almost 2 years old, and she’s barely checked in or asked about him. I try to text her every couple of months to see how she is doing, but she texts me every couple of days and after a few messages, she stops and I don’t hear from her again. She views all my stories on instagram but never likes or responds and never likes my posts either. I’m not sure if she’s mad at me, if something is going on, but she always says she’s doing really well. I get the feeling she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore? Anyways, I’m pregnant again with my second child. And I haven’t announced it on social media yet, but I’m wondering if I owe it to her and our friendship to tell her personally instead of her finding out online? It just feels odd to me that for the past couple of years, it doesn’t feel like we’re best friends anymore. What would you do?

If you guys are really friends I would tell her my feelings of her being distant. If she is genuine she will have an open conversation with you. I hope it works out . You guys have been friends for years.

Yes, if you're very close friends, then let her know how you feel in a peaceful, caring way. She might be going through many feelings, but on the surface, she seems fine. She might open up if you talk to her. Wishing you the best.

I have a very good friend but since I had a baby I barely managed to keep up with our conversations. We also live in different countries. She moved back home and trying to rebuild a life there. It takes us sometimes a few days to end a conversation because life gets busy. When I remember we call each other and spend at least 2h on the phone but that is maybe every 2months or so. When we talk I know there is trust and real friendship between us but I also know we give each other the space to live our lives. I would love to be closer or speak more often but I also know time is not always in our favour.
